Children
There is something for everyone to do in the museum: creative workshops in painting, drawing or sculpting. The little ones listen to beautiful stories, while the older ones can test their knowledge with a quiz.
Open Studio
Every Wednesday afternoon in the Open Atelier for children aged 6 and up only: creative workshops such as painting & drawing, and sculpting with clay and other materials. The workshop begins with a tour of the museum by the Museum Teacher, where the themes are discussed and explained. Children draw inspiration from the collection and then create a work of art.
From 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM, cost €5.00 per child.
Occasionally, sculpting workshops for adults will be organised under the guidance of a visual artist.
